Dwyane Wade certainly doesn't mind being the butt of a joke -- he revisited the fake quote heard around the world this week ... saying while the whole ass-eating debacle was fugazi, he did crack up a bit over it.

Back in 2017, before the days of NBA Centel, a bogus quote graphic sent shockwaves on social media ... which claimed Wade saw the silver lining in the Cleveland Cavaliers' early season struggles at the time -- 'cause at the end of the day, he got to go home and have some freaky time with his wife, Gabrielle Union.

Wade quickly denied the validity of the statement ... quote-tweeting it and saying, "So we're making fake quotes up now. Oh wait that's what everyone does nowadays. Carry on with the tomfoolery."

Jelly Roll's wife is showing love for her favorite hockey player -- her husband, that is ... 'cause she flashed him at an arena in a wild video.

Bunnie XO shared a clip to her Instagram Friday from inside Bridgestone Arena -- home of the NHL's Nashville Predators ... where she's standing next to the glass boards and Jelly Roll's hanging on the ice.

In the clip, Bunnie shouts to get JR's attention ... and, when he finally looks over, she lifts up her hockey jersey to show her man the pucks she's hiding under her shirt!

After another round of less-than-flattering words about her and her relationship with Bill Belichick, Jordon Hudson is firing back at Pablo Torre ... calling the journalist's reporting "factually incorrect" and straight-up "defamatory."

Torre -- the former ESPN talent -- has taken a deep dive into Hudson and Belichick's romance multiple times this month for his "Pablo Torre Finds Out" YouTube show ... and most of his work has painted an unfavorable picture of the 24-year-old.

In the May 9 episode, Torre reported Belichick's family is concerned over the Hudson relationship due to the huge role she's earned in his life. He also stated she once tried to force her way into a commercial that her 73-year-old partner was starring in. He added that Univ. of North Carolina officials had barred her from their football facilities because of her behavior around the Tar Heels coach -- though the school later vehemently denied that.

Wanna feel old?? LeBron James' second son, Bryce, is officially a high school graduate ... and the entire family was present to watch the future Arizona hooper walk the stage!!

The Lakers superstar, Bronny, Savannah and Zhuri were all at Sierra Canyon's 12th Grade Commencement ceremony at SC Stadium on Thursday ... with the four-time champ electing for a sharp black suit, and his wife choosing a black and white pinstriped look for the occasion.

17-year-old Bryce sported a cap and gown (duh) ... and the 20-year-old rookie donned a light T-shirt as he supported his baby bro.

5/27/2025 8:00 AM PT -- Chad Reeves' attorney, Glen Jonas, tells TMZ ... "Jamie Grenfell has a 2002 conviction for Felony Perjury relating to an investigation in which he was also convicted for making a false police report in connection with an attempted Insurance Fraud.  Three weeks before trial he filed a verified statement under penalty of perjury in his underlying lawsuit against the Dodgers denying the conviction.  He literally committed perjury about his prior perjury! Meanwhile Lillian Grenfell told a ridiculous story at trial to falsely excuse the fact that she was choking Lindsay Hopkin which forced Mr. Hopkin to defend against a combined attack by the Grenfells.

The Grenfells are bottom feeders that manipulated public with a viral video that was misleading.  This is par for the course for the Grenfells, they have a history of distortion, lies and manipulating the justice system for financial gain.  Here they started a fight, lost and now are trying to turn the melee into a pay out by the Dodgers with their bogus lawsuit. The prosecution's case at trial was not credible and everyone in that courtroom is now dumber for having witnessed it."

Two men have been acquitted of felony battery charges in connection with a parking lot fight after an Elton John concert at Dodger Stadium.

Reece Hopkin and Chad Reeves were each charged in 2023 with one count of battery with serious bodily injury for their alleged roles in a 2022 fight that broke out after the first of Elton's three concerts at Chavez Ravine. Hopkin was also charged with felony vandalism for allegedly damaging a phone someone was using to record the incident.

A Los Angeles jury on Thursday voted to acquit the men on all charges ... according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.

Shaquille O'Neal is clearing the air on his infamous bathroom emergency on "Inside the NBA" last month ... admitting once and for all he had to take a dookie.

Yes, someone is getting paid to write this.

Memorial Day Weekend's here, but Ivanka Trump is still bustin' her ass in the gym, squeezing in another jiu-jitsu session with one of the Valente brothers!

The 43-year-old daughter of the 45th/47th U.S. President got some work in with Gui Valente  ahead of the unofficial start of summer.

It's unclear exactly how long they trained, and exactly what they drilled ... but judging by the snapshot, they put in some serious work, seemingly picking up GV with ease!

Lamar Odom found himself on Thursday night in the crosshairs of a couple dozen protestors ... who were so furious with the former NBA star for attending a Donald Trump-hosted gala, they actually booed the hell out of him right in the middle of a street.

Odom -- along with around 200 other crypto enthusiasts -- flocked to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, to dine with POTUS and hear about his bitcoin plans ... but as the ex-hooper made his way to the event space, he wasn't greeted warmly.

Video from the scene shows people heckled him non-stop as he headed to the property's gates ... with some screaming, "Shame on you, Lamar!"

Blood was shed during Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday ... but we're not talking about any Timberwolves or Thunder players -- it was referee Scott Foster who was left worse for wear!!

The accident happened just over a minute into the contest -- during a jump ball between Lu Dort and Julius Randle. The former's arm came down and hit Foster right in the nose ... and he started oozing.

The longtime official -- who also appeared to take a bit of a kick to the gut from Randle -- rushed over to the scorers booth for a towel ... and got his nostril plugged up.

Those taking the PCH to catch Friday's SLS better be prepared for Machine Gun Kelly -- Nyjah Huston tells TMZ Sports he's expecting MGK to roll through the Street League Skateboarding event!!

The competition officially kicks off at the Santa Monica Pier in just a few hours -- at 1:30 PM PT, to be exact -- and while most fans will come to watch Huston and other skaters throw down tricks ... the Olympic bronze medalist told us MGK is gonna get in on the fun, too.

Huston was super careful about what the "my ex's best friend" crooner will do at the event ... but said it'll be "special."

Doc Rivers says he's in constant communication with Giannis Antetokounmpo ... telling TMZ Sports the two sides talk "all the time" amid speculation the Milwaukee Bucks superstar could be interested in taking his talents elsewhere.

The current Bucks coach was asked a handful of questions about his best player after dining at Avra in Beverly Hills on Thursday ... and while he wouldn't get into specifics on Giannis' current status with the organization, he made it clear he's not getting ghosted.

"Guys, I'm not doing all that," he told the cameras. "I talk to him all the time. You can move on now, thank you."

Tyrese Haliburton and his girlfriend are two peas in a pod ... 'cause fresh off the Indiana Pacers star making the choking gesture amid the New York Knicks' Game 1 collapse, Jade Jones had a savage reaction to the action, too!!

The hooper's stunning longtime partner went to Instagram to share her favorite snaps from Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden ... and she had quite the caption to go along with the post.

"Finally got to see the ball drop in NYC 😏" Jones said ... clearly making a reference to Haliburton's clutch jumper that sent the game to overtime and paved the way for the Pacers' 138-135 victory.

"The boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon."

Wholesome moment alert -- New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt was tasked with catching the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Thursday's game ... and as it turns out, he knew the honorary hurler VERY well!!

According to the broadcast, the team kept its plans for the toss under wraps right until the throw. While he was shaking hands with some active-duty servicemen, they moved to reveal his dad, Dwight, was in town.

Clarke had a huge smile on his face as the two embraced ... and then Dwight hit the mound with the rest of the Marines on the field to handle business. While Dwight's throw was out of the strike zone, we'll cut Dad some slack here.

Nicole Brown Simpson's sister is making a bunch of comparisons between the trials of O.J. Simpson and Diddy ... and she sees a lot of similarities between her sister and Cassie.

Tanya Brown says the Diddy trial feels a lot like O.J.'s "Trial of the Century" ... mainly because of abuse allegations and the power dynamics of both couples.

Cassie gave four days of intense testimony last week in Diddy's federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial in NYC, and Tanya says folks following the case should not be quick to judge Cassie because they haven't walked in her shoes.

Eli Manning apparently ain't the only one with Tom Brady's number ... Morgan Wallen just proved he, too, can slay the G.O.A.T. -- beating him in a round of golf earlier this month.

Brady said Thursday the loss to the country music superstar went down last week ... after he challenged the "Last Night" crooner to nine holes at the Troubadour Golf and Field Club in Tennessee.

Brady documented the guys' round for a video on his YouTube channel -- and while TB12's swing looked crisp, Wallen's was clearly far more efficient.
